September 2016

We had an awesome group come and visit us for our last group of the season! Where did the summer go! These guys had an awesome time fishin’, and the hotspot for the trip wasn’t a far run from our dock. The big fish of the trip was a 28lber caught by Kevin on Jake’s boat. These guys had unbelievable luck that morning, hooking into some beauties that were suspected to be in the tyee range. They only ended up boating a couple, but Kevin’s was well worth the fight! The next day, there was a 3 way tie for big fish, all weighing in at 15lbs! The last day was lucky for Jeran, as he brought in the only fish caught! Thank you for a spectacular end to our summer, we had a blast with you guys! Tight lines 🙂

Its been a wet week, but a good one with good company! Mike and Alyson Lynch joined us from Edmonds, as well as Chuck and Betty from Kelowna, and Sheri and Dave from the Seattle area. Bruce Barlean is back again with his friends Dick, Uriah and Wes. The rain held off for the first afternoon fish and Dick, AKA the codfather, came home an assortment of cod fish. Betty killed it with a 14lber, and Wes brought home a chum bucket. The second day lunch got rained out, but the fish were biting! Everyone came back to the lodge with fish! Wesley and Dick picked up a few in the high teeners with Jason, and Uriah got a 25 pounder and Bruce got a 23 with Jacob! Alyson beat Mike by a few pounds when she reeled up a 20lber, and Mike brought in a 12 with captain Smitty! Nice one Aly 🙂 We enjoyed a nice dinner in the dining room with the sound of rain on the roof. The crew on Keith’s boat loaded up with chinook in the high teens and a few rockfish! Burger boat day was beautiful, and the rain held off long enough for these guys to haul in a few slabs. Bruce picked up a 20, and Dick got a 18.5lber. Dave and Aly got a 11 and a 12lber with Jake! Change over morning was a beautiful one, and we woke up to a clear starry sky. These guys were so eager to hit the water that they were up far before dawn, which is at about 6:20am now. Chuck picked up a 23lber to end the trip, and Uriah and Dave almost tied with a 18lber and a 19. Thank you all for coming, we had a wonderful time fishin’ with you 🙂

A big thanks to Tim & Cheri, Rick, Ron & Allan from the Seattle area, as well as Matt, David, Brad R. and Brad A. from Vancouver for joining us this weekend for some fishing! These guys arrived at the dock on beautiful sunny day and were eager to get their lines wet! The first few hours started out a little slow, but Tim and Cheri managed to catch and release a duck! The two Brad’s were on fire on the second day of the trip, and all together they pulled in 16, 19 and 20lb chinookies! Allan caught a 18lb slab with Jacob, and Mick got a 13 and Ron got a 16! Tim got the biggest of the day weighing in at 22lbs, and Cheri caught a linger! Not too shabby! The good luck kept going for these guys the next day on Keith’s boat when they reeled in 16, 8 and 19 pounders! Brad was crowned king that night for his 21lber. Allan, Mick and Ron took a turn from the salmon slayers to the cod fathers on the last day of the trip when they came home with a fish box full of rock cod! Tim got a beauty 15lb slab, and Brad ended the trip with a nice pink salmon for the BBQ! Although the fishing started out a little spotty, and we had a little liquid sunshine fall from the sky, we hope you guys had as much fun as we did! Thanks for coming 🙂
